I agree with what you said. Ford has sold ALL of their old tooling and dies for all the old Mustang( as well as other cars) sheetmetal/emblems etc to several out side private vendors. Dennis Carpenter Reproductions being one of them. I heard through the Mustang mags that DC bought something like 75-100 tractor trailer loads of NOS parts from Fords's warehouses. Ford has nothing in terms of NOS available anymore. Ford officially said it was not worth their time and effort to cater to the old car crowd. In the scheme of things, old parts were just a miniscule fraction of Fords sales. However all the parts now being made on original dies are "licensed" so I'm sure they get their cut. I'm glad this happened. One of the vendors is coming out with the 64 1/2 Mustang hood (different from the 65 on up) from the original tooling. If Ford still controlled this tooling that never would have happened.
